''An atmospheric, twisty and explosive start to a new series by one of the masters of Scottish fiction'' Angela Clarke, Sunday Times Bestseller ''Tense, fast-moving and bloody. Broadfoot''s best yet'' Mason Cross ''A true rising star of crime fiction'' Ian Rankin ''Pace like Child, violence like McBride and tension like Billingham. This book will be one of this year''s #tartannoir benchmark works. Page-turner is an understatement'' Helen Fields War is coming to No-Man''s Land, and Connor Fraser will be ready. A mutilated body is found dumped at Cowane''s Hospital in the heart of historic Stirling. For DCI Malcolm Ford it''s like nothing he''s ever seen before, the savagery of the crime makes him want to catch the murderer before he strikes again. For reporter Donna Blake it''s a shot at the big time, a chance to get her career back on track and prove all the doubters wrong. But for close protection specialist Connor Fraser it''s merely a grisly distraction from the day job. But then another bloodied and broken corpse is found, this time in the shadow of the Wallace Monument - and with it, a message. One Connor has received before, during his time as a police officer in Belfast. With Ford facing mounting political and public pressure to make an arrest and quell fears the murders are somehow connected to heightened post-Brexit tensions, Connor is drawn into a race against time to stop another murder. But to do so, he must question old loyalties, confront his past and unravel a mystery that some would sacrifice anything - and anyone - to protect. From Dundee International Book Prize and Bloody Scotland book of the year nominee Neil Broadfoot comes No Man''s Land, the first in the white-knuckle Connor Fraser series. ----- Praise for Neil Broadfoot ''Broadfoot is here, and he''s ready to sit at the table with some of the finest crime writers Scottish fiction has to offer'' Russel D. McLean ''[Broadfoot''s] best so far. Great set of new characters, wonderfully grisly and grim, and a cracking pace. Top stuff!'' James Oswald ''Crisp dialogue, characters you believe and a prose style that brings you back for more . . . a fine addition to a growing roster of noir titles with a tartan tinge'' Douglas Skelton
